Robbie Williams

That might be related to the phenomenon that in the US, if you speak with a British (or any European) accent, you tend to be regarded as witty and sophisticated, even if back at home people regard you as just another dumb wanker.

 I love the live album from Knebworth.

Ahh yes, I too hold the man crush for my little hero and his monkey.  I was soooooo pissed when he said he wasn't doing US dates, because he wanted to be able to walk down the street without being mobbed like he is everywhere else.  And then I said to myself, "Me too Robbie, me too"

I saw him when he played the 930 on 5/10/99, just to see for myself what the Euro-fuss was about.  Did not come away impressed, though. The impression conveyed was simply: aging and cheeky former boy-band guy, whose music was shades of Elton, Queen and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.  The rest of the world can keep him.  There's enough sucky popular music in America as is.
